About Paul
Counsellor Paul Anne Quibael-Forman is a BACP member with 11 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and self-esteem concerns, and supports people facing life changes and relationship issues. Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Paul Anne focuses on helping people talk through current problems and practical difficulties. She uses person-centred listening alongside narrative and trauma-informed ideas to help clients make sense of their experiences. Conversations aim to identify small steps a person can try between sessions.
Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Narrative Therapy, with elements of Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused approaches. That mix is used to reflect what the client brings and to support clearer decision-making when someone feels stuck. The emphasis is on understanding how events and relationships shape feelings and choices.
She also pays attention to cultural background and family origins. As a Filipino living in the UK, Paul Anne offers space to talk about identity and cultural pressures in plain language. She can work with issues tied to first responder stress, abandonment, codependency and chronic illness among other concerns.
Sessions typically look at current stressors, patterns that repeat, and practical coping skills. People often use the work to manage anxiety, recover from abuse or loss, or find a steadier way through major life changes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and choices. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and works to separate problems from the person, which can help with identity, shame and recurring patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and then suggest which ideas to use. That decision is revisited as the work progresses so the approach fits practical needs and changing aims.
Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. It can also support people who prefer not to use video, or who need sessions in Tagalog or English. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use these options to help clients continue regular work on stress, trauma or life changes.
